of mud for a fireplace. In cooking they had to step down about 18 inches. Did not even have a hearth for a number of years. These are only a few of the many interesting incidents connected with their early pioneer life;. Grandma informs me that

always calm and dignified under all circumstances. Bro. Cooper, of the Presbyterian church and Bro. Bulger, of the U. B church, joined me in the funeral services. The writer spoke a few comforting words to a large audience whose presence at his
funeral attested his worth as a citizen, neighbor, and friend.
